Disclaimer: I do not own Ranma or Inuyasha, they are the property of Rumiko Takashi and some companies I can't remember, I am making no money of this work.
Author's Notes: Not much to say since yesterday so all I will say is thank you for reading and please review.
"Hey Ran-chan, Akane over here." Ukyo said as she waved the newly arrived duo to where she, Yuka, and Sayuri were standing.
"What's up?" Akane called out as she got a bit closer.
"I know we're supposed to meet after school to continue the project, but do you all mind if we put it off till tomorrow." Ukyo asked.
"It's not a problem for me." Sayuri said.
"Me either, but what's up." Akane asked.
"Konatsu was felling a bit under the weather, so I'm having him rest up for today, and I got a temp to help me out. However I'm not gonna have someone I don't know running my restaurant without me." Ukyo said.
"This actually works out pretty well for me, I was going to ask if we could put it off as well." Yuka said.
"How come?" Ranma questioned.
"My mother wants to go out for dinner tonight, she invited the whole group too. Sorry Ukyo." Yuka said.
"It's no problem, tell her I said thanks for the offer though." Ukyo smiled.
"What time we gonna meet for dinner?" Ranma asked.
"Seven Thirty, eight, sorry it's so late, but Mom went back to work today." Yuka said.
"Alright works good for me too. I had some stuff I needed to do after school myself so I can get that done and then still go out for dinner. So where we gonna go?" Ranma grinned.
"Not sure just meet at my house around seven thirty I'm sure Mom will have something planned." Yuka said.
"Alrighty, well I'm gonna go call Kasumi on the office phone real quick so she doesn't make something big for dinner. I'll see ya in class." Ranma said as he ran off.

Brrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiinnngg
"Alright class dismissed, Ranma, Ms. Hinako would like to have a word with you. So if you would please wait until she gets here." The Math teacher said before he turned and ran out of the classroom.
"Sure thing Sensei." Ranma called out to the back of the fleeing teacher.
"Looks like the teachers are all still terrified of being around Ranma." Hiroshi said.
"Hey look Sakura's walking up to Ranma." Daisuke stated.
"Silly fangirl, all she's gonna to do is get Ranma in trouble." Ben said as he shook his head.
"Oh she's a bold one she went for a hand grab." Daisuke commented
"Ah, but Ranma saw it coming and turned to the side and shoved his hands into his backpack." Hiroshi announced.
"Uh oh, to reach into his bag he had to bend over now every female in the class is staring." Ben said getting into the announcer skit.
A short girl in dark clothing walked next to Hiroshi.
"It appears Akane is getting pissed about the attention Ranma's getting from the females of the class." The girl said as her head cocked to the side.
"Oh and I'm sure your staring is helping him out so much Ryoko." Daisuke said.
"Pfft, like one more stares gonna make a difference, besides your one to talk, if he were in his girl form bent over like that you'd be the ones staring." Ryoko grinned.
"She's right you would, and that would probably piss Akane off just as much." Hiroshi said.
"Looks like Akane's ready to blow her stack." Ben commented.
"Oh what's this? Ukyo is calming Akane down" Hiroshi.
"While Sayuri and Yuka are pulling a distraction maneuver on Sakura." Daisuke announced as he watched them waylay Sakura by asking who did her hair and where she got her clothes.
"And here comes Hinako, looks like Ranma managed to escape getting smacked around by Akane for a change. Come on let's go grab our fangirl partner and start working on the project." Ryoko droned.
"Yes ma'am" Daisuke, Hiroshi, and Ben saluted.
"What kinda messed up group did I get stuck in." Ryoko said as she walked after the three.
"Ranma I'd like to talk to you about your performance in class" Hinako said after the rest of the class had left.
"I thought I've been doing better the last few days." Ranma stated.
"You have been, at first I thought it might just be because you're in a group, but other teachers have commented you have been doing better in their classes as well." Hinako grimaced, 'of course the only reason it was mentioned is cause one teacher, thinks you've been switched with an alien and another things you attacked and read Yamaguchi's mind.'
"That's a good thing right?" Ranma asked confused.
"Yes it is, but you may have problems with things from earlier assignments as you were not paying as much attention then as you are now, so if you need help with anything just ask me and I'll help you or get someone who can." Hinako said.
"Thanks Ms. Hinako, you're a great teacher. If I need help you'll be the first one I come to." Ranma beamed causing Hinako to blush.
'Ack bad Hinako no bad thoughts about students I'm not a pedophile… though if something were to happen while I was in this body would he be the pedophile or would I … Ack again bad Hinako stop thinking naughty thoughts.' Hinako thought.
"There anything else you wanted to talk about Ms. Hinako?" Ranma asked.
"Huh, wha, talk about? Oh no nothing at all you may go, and keep up the good work." Hinako blushed.
"Later then." Ranma said as he ran over to the window and jumped out of it.

'You were pretty excited about Ms. Hinako offering to help, how come?' Kikyo asked.
'Well I've been doing what you suggested and staying awake in class and some of them, like the history class, are interesting just for itself. The math class can be applied to martial arts at least to a limited degree. The language classes are important because I want to talk better, I mean I'm not as bad as Shampoo, but I've been told I sound like a hick.' Ranma thought to Kikyo.
A warm feeling spread through out Ranma
'I'm glad you took my advice, it's good to be interested in more then just martial arts.'
'Your smiling in there aren't you.' Ranma said.
'Yes how did you know?'
'Well, after I told you about wanting to learn, a warm content feeling spread throughout my body and it felt like it was coming from you.' Ranma mused.
'Interesting once we're done with this assignment and have free time after school, perhaps we could experiment on how certain things one of us feels affects the other, but for now I suggest we get to Tofu's so we have time to talk before you have to get ready for dinner.'
'Sure thing Kikyo, we could probably do it while the assignment is still going on just on days we don't have to meet with the group, anyways your right we should head over to the Doc's clinic.

"Hello Ranma it's good to see you." Dr. Tofu smiled warmly, "Please come in."
"Thanks, Doc, I know ya said come back at the end of the week and it's only Wednesday, but I got a school project going on and I figure I should tell ya what I learned from the voice, and see what you learned also." Ranma said.
"No problem at all, I wanted to speak with you also." Dr. Tofu said. "I went and talked to Elder Khu Lon after making her promise not to use the information against you. She said there's a possibility that you're somehow channeling a spirit through you, and that's why it's been able to teach you."
"Yeah, that sounds about right. I've been talking to the voice and I found out she's a priestess named Kikyo from the Sengoku Jidai era of Japan." Ranma acknowledged. "Oh she also helped heal Yuna Akagi."
"You're the one who healed that lady?" Dr. Tofu asked in shock.
"Yep"
"Holy shit," Tofu cried. "You do realize you managed to completely heal a woman who was in critical condition, most likely wouldn't survive, even if she did she would have been wheelchair bound and mutilated for the rest of her life, and then you say it like it's a secondary thing like a footnote in a book."
"Neat I hadn't realized that I helped her that much." Ranma grinned.
Tofu visibly twitched 'neat, neat is the only thing he had to say about miraculously curing someone.' Tofu twitched again. "Anyways Elder Khu Lon said she would like to have a word with you when you get the chance." Tofu said as he sunk into his seat.
"Alright, thanks for your help Doc." Ranma called back as he rushed out the door.
"Neat?" Dr Tofu muttered as he shook his and placed it in his hands.

"Sir, I have bad news," Vlad said as he ran his hands nervously through his long Blonde hair.
"And what news is that?"
"We have still yet to find the person who used spiritual energy in Nerima, I also believe we may have someone leaking information to one of enemies, the Harmonixer has been seen near one of our labs." Vlad said as his he wrung his massive hands in fear.
"Do checks on what all my people are doing, order that all our security be tightened, if the Harmonixer interferes, neutralize him if possible, but first priority comes in making sure he does not find anything that could lead him to us, another lab, or any of the events we have a hand in. If you find out who the leak is bring them to me."
"Yes sir." Vlad bowed and started to leave.
"Wait a moment Vlad."
"Sir?" Vlad questioned.
"If the Harmonixer is sniffing too closely and it's not a coincidence, perhaps we can throw of his scent. Take that worthless book The Émigré Manuscript and put it in some delusional fool's hands that is far from one of our projects. As soon as he notices the signs of it being used he'll take off to that location as quick as he can."
"Understood." Vlad said as he turned and quickly walked away from his master.
Addendum Disclaimer: I do not own Shadow Hearts.
Addendum Author's notes: I have broken down the last paragraph in chapter six so it should be easier to read and I Have changed All the Mrs. Hinako's to Ms. Hinako.
If you know nothing of Shadow Hearts it's not a big deal. Anything from the game that needs to be explained to understand what's going on will be explained in the story, if I decide to use it at all.
